Student of Archery

I chose the Student of Archery background for a druid and it appears that it does not grant the martial->simple proficiency for the composite longbow (my choice of weapon). The edit feature allows it to be modified, but that shouldn’t be necessary.

“Choose a ranged weapon (subject to GM approval). For the purposes of proficiency, ** if your choice is a martial weapon, you treat it as a simple weapon**; if it’s an advanced weapon, you treat it as a martial weapon. With this weapon, you ignore the penalty for making ranged attacks within your second range increment, and at 5th level, whenever you get a critical hit with this weapon, you get its critical specialization effect.”

Thanks for the report, I believe this may actually be a limitation of the code. Just in case it can be done however I’ve passed it along to the appropriate folks for a further look.

Thanks. If they can’t due to a code limitation, a notice on the background advising people to use the work around would be a good idea.
